The Spinel Fruit grows in locations close to Liquid Phlogiston, as this lava creates crystalline trees where this fruit grows for different Genshin Impact dishes, but this ingredient is difficult to find. Although the challenge is usually to get the local specialties, this fruit is found in locked or hazardous areas due to the presence of lava. So you must know how to explore these caves carefully.
Genshin Impact: Spinel Fruit Location in Flamegranate Tree Roots
Since you must unlock the subway areas to harvest this fruit, we will first access the Flamegranate Tree Roots by following these steps:
1. Go to the Flamegranate Tree. You can use the central Teleport Waypoint in Tequemecan Valley, Natlan. This giant tree is near the valley river and has huge bright orange fruits.
2. Go behind the Flamegranate Tree, and you will find a cliff with a small waterfall. On the right side is an NPC, Poca. Interact with her because she will give you the Ripe For Trouble World Quest to help her friend Tisoc, which is needed to access the Spinel Fruits.
3. Next to Poca is a cave that goes underground; glide down to unlock the underground Teleport Waypoint.
4. you will find the Flamegranate Tree Roots. If you are following the Wold Quest, Tisoc will be on the right side of the grey roots near all the glowing fruits. However, if you already completed the quest, go to the cave on the left side, near the lava.
5. Follow the cave path, and you will come to some water-filled ruins. You must turn into Yumkasaurus to activate the platforms and continue to the end of the ruins, where the lava begins.
6. Follow the Spores of Repose through the cave, you will reach the roots that connect to the lava. From there follow the lava river, until the end you will find the 2 Spinel Fruits.
Phlogiston Extraction Research Center
Be careful in this area because you will be at a large Fatui base where they conduct some experiments. Try to defeat them all along this path:
- Use the Teleport Waypoint on Coatepec Mountain between the Ancestral Temple and the Fatui’s camp.
- Go straight to Fatui’s camp. You will see it split down a cliff in the middle. Follow that path until it turns into a cave.
- Keep going down the cave until you find plumbing next to the lava. There, you will find 2 Spinel Fruits.
- Defeat the Fatui to unlock the Yumkasaurus and open the door to the Phlogiston Extraction Research Center. In the area, you will find 4 more Spinel Fruits.
Ameyalco Waters
- Use The Statue of Seven south of Ameyalco Waters. As you appear you will see a hole in the ruins, glide to the bottom to reach the underground temple.
- Go through the only path, and you will find an NPC named Chikya, who will give you another World Quest, which you must accept to unlock the place. You will have to fight some machinery to open the door.
- Continue along the path, and you will reach the lava. In this Genshin Impact location, there are many ups and downs where you can find up to 13 Spinel Fruit placed in this way:
The Spinel Fruit is not a local specialty, so it does not serve as an Ascension level for Genshin Impact characters. Its primary use is for cooking dishes like Glittering Gemstones to heal your character for 1 HP every 8 seconds for 32. If you want this recipe, you can get it when you reach Reputation Level 2 with Children of Echoes.
